November Update!

We have some really good news...

An anonymous donor has purchased the property that we've been renting for the last two years!  The children are so excited to have a place to call a permanent home!  We are beyond thrilled and have so much to be grateful for!

New Matron!

We hired a new matron named Becky to help Emma care for the children, especially the younger children and girls.

Doctor Mufumba held a family meeting to introduce the children to Becky and to remind them of some of our house rules.

"...I informed them about Becky, the new matron, and encouraged them to cooperate and feel free with her and I also encouraged Becky to love and serve the children as much as she could.  I also informed them about the great gift of the PFP home which has been purchased for them to stay in.  I reminded them about always working hard, being disciplined and honest, no stealing, no lying and no fighting."

--Doctor Mufumba

Becky sent an email informing us of some of her plans for the girls at PFP.

"I will be having several meetings with the girls alone since they are more vulnerable.  Possibly once a week to get to know their views, challenges and problems they will be facing.  I will be telling you of what transpired in the meetings."

-- Becky
